R. Kelly is a trip always flip flopping between praising the Lord and enticing women out of their clothes. It seems as if he can’t make up his mind. That reminds me of myself sometimes. I know I love God and I want to serve Him and make Him proud and most times I do, but other times I just want to get get mine.

I know, that’s sad, but the basic element of our nature causes us to want to gratify our flesh first. But fleshly gratification aint nothing but trouble. Through all the talent that I have noticed on the blogs that won awards on my blog show I have to encourage you all to consider where you got your gift.

There is a reason why you are all such amazing writers. The ability to be effective communicators is a blessing that can change the world. The fact that people tune in to your blogs everyday gives you the power to get your message across. For some reason, people listen to you. What are you saying?

Are you using your talent to uplift the kingdom of God? Are you using your talent to encourage people to seek a better relationship with Christ? .Are you informing people about ways they can improve their situation? Are you shedding light on important issues that need to be discussed?

I’m not saying you have to post your Bible Study notes every Wednesday night, but remember that since you have an audience you have influence and there is a certain amount of responsibility that comes with that position of honor.

As I am seeking to re-focus my talents on God and being a responsible steward over the gift that He gave me, I constantly ask myself, Is this pleasing in God’s sight? If it’s not, I revise what I am writing or saying. You don’t have to compromise to be respected and popular. You can still be funny and witty and serve God too.

Brenda’s Blog is a perfect example. She has her days sometimes but you can tell in every word that she loves God and He is important in her life. Even when I go off on a tangent and get a little buck wild, God continues to reel me back in.

I’m a child of God FIRST and I don’t ever want to forget that.

You have a voice. What are you saying? Use your voice to say something positive that will change someone’s life for the better. Even if you just want to entertain, you don’t have to take the low road and resort to vulgarity which will corrupt vulnerable minds. You are much more talented than that. Potty humor is so elementary. Intelligent minds educate and uplift.

Your choice.
